Since the start of All Elite Wrestling, we’ve only seen four world champions. Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, and Hangman Page have all held the belt over the past three years. All champions had their highs and lows, with both Jon Moxley & Kenny Omega having to work as champions through the pandemic era – but Tony Khan has named his favourite champion.
Tony Khan Names Jon Moxley As The Best AEW World Champion
During a recent interview with Barstool Sports, Tony Khan would have the following to say about Jon Moxley – and how he’s only gotten better since his fantastic reign as champion.
“Moxley and Bryan Danielson are two of the great pro-wrestlers not just today but I think of all time. Two great World Champions who have wrestled all over the world and now have competed at the top level. Jon Moxley is one of only four men to ever hold the AEW World title. Again, we talked about Hangman – Jon Moxley, arguably the greatest world Champion of all time. We only got to see Jon Moxley who has had as many great defences and great matches as the champion as anybody and I think is the can’t-miss star of the company right now.
His return is one of the biggest stories and one of the most inspirational awesome things that makes me happy. And I think Jon Moxley would be right there as the greatest champion he never got to defend the title on the road. And I think that still motivates him, but he’s come in teaming with Bryan Danielson who they rarely wrestle very differently. But They are bonded by their love of pro-wrestling and they founded this blackpool combat club.”
Could Reign #2 Be Incoming?
Right now, Hangman Page is in the early months of his reign as champion – and his recent feud with CM Punk has been really capturing the attention of fans. His early feud with Bryan Danielson gave two of the best matches in AEW history as well. However, an early choice to end his reign is this new more motivated Jon Moxley.
It would make Moxley the first ever two-time AEW World Champion, and considering many view Moxley as the best thing in the company right now, it wouldn’t be a bad choice. We saw Moxley steer the ship in AEW during bleak times, meaning many fans didn’t get to see him in person as champion. A second reign is bound to come, and it could be sooner rather than later.
